[PATCH v2 1/2] mm/memory_hotplug: Add support to accept memory during hot-add
From: Pratik R. Sampat
Date: Mon Jan 12 2026 - 15:23:24 EST
Confidential computing guests require memory to be accepted before use.
The unaccepted memory bitmap maintained by firmware does not track
hotplugged memory ranges.
Call arch_accept_memory() during the hot-add path to explicitly validate
and transition the newly added memory to a private state, making it
usable by the guest.
